Solihull Moors have completed the signing of Chelsea goalkeeper Nathan Baxter on loan until the end of the campaign.

The 18-year-old shot-stopper has risen through the ranks in West London and has already tasted FA Youth Cup and UEFA Youth League success.

Understandably, the Moors are delighted to have him on board for the remainder of their National League season.

Club Director Jed McCrory said: “I’m delighted to have helped negotiate this deal to bring in a talented youngster from the current Premier League leaders and I’m sure Solihull Moors fans will welcome Nathan to the club.

“I believe this is a real coup for The Moors and shows the strides we are making as a football club both on and off the pitch. It speaks volumes for a club with the global reputation of Chelsea to trust us with Nathan’s development as a young professional at this crucial stage in his career.”

Manager Liam McDonald added: "It's a big boost for the football club to bring in such a young talent from Chelsea for the second-half of the season.

"With Nathan Vaughan injured at this moment in time, we've been a short in that area so Nathan's addition is much needed and we're delighted to have him at The Moors.

"Coming from a club of Chelsea's calibre, Nathan's ability is undoubted and I personally look forward to playing a part in the player's on-going development alongside our goalkeeping coach Darren Acton."
